Resumen del manual
D. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication, before or during spa use, may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. E. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulation system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa. F. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. DO’S & DON’TS DO Make sure the spa is connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit. This GFCI is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and is supplied with the unit. DO Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it is comfortable. DO Remember that wet surfaces can be slippery. Take care when entering and exiting the spa. DO Use the thermal cover when the spa is not in use, empty or full. DO Take steps to prevent the intrusion of sand and dirt into the spa. DO Maintain proper water chemistry. DO Clean the filter cartridge weekly. DON’T Use the spa for long periods of time at temperatures over 104 F. DON’T Operate spa without water. Turn circuit breaker off before emptying the spa and while it is empty. DON’T Store chemicals in the spa’s equipment compartment. —3 — WARNINGS Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result in a dangerous condition known as HYPOTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms, and effects of hypothermia may be described as follows: Hypothermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F. The symptoms of hypothermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hypothermia include (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, (4) physical inability, to exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, and (6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning. WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia in hot tubs and spas. Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers antihistamines or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or high blood pressure should consult their physician before using the spa. Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsupervised access to the spa. The use of elevated decking may encourage children to climb onto the thermal cover-IT IS NOT DESIGNED AS A SAFETY OR CHILD RESISTANT COVER! Each spa comes with a thermal cover which is provided with locking straps. Install the locks for your child’s safety. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS —4 — INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Site Selection/Preparation The spa must be installed on a structurally strong,solid and reasonably level surface.The site should allow for drainage away from the equipment compartment in which the electrical components are housed. Take into account the following when considering prospective sites: LOCAL CODES: There may be certain restrictions and/or requirements that are particular to your locality. DELIVERY PASSAGEWAY: Doors, halls, stairs, etc. may pose obstructions to deliver the spa to its intended site. MAINTENANCE: Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can create extra work in keeping your spa and spa area clean and safe. PRIVACY & WIND SHIELDING A sheltered environment can result in lower operating and maintenance costs. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION: Important: Your spa is wired to meet the requirements of UL, ETL, and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Any modifications required to meet state or local codes must be performed by a qualified, LICENSED electrical contractor and approved by a local building/ electrical inspection authority. A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the spa to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm) solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal enclosures or electrical equipment, metal water pipe or conduit, within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements. In-Line Ground Fault Circuit Installation Diagrams All wires feeding the spa are to be the same gauge. Ground wires are to be insulated. When using a ground rod, the ground wire to the rod should be #6 bare copper wire. All 220 Volt spas require the use of an isolated GFCI protected circuit. The installation of a disconnect is required no more than ten (10) visual feet from the spa and not less than five (5) feet from the spa. This requirement is to assure that the power cannot be inadvertently turned back on when the power is disconnected from the spa f...
